But none of this activity seems to have reached the attention of the Intelligence Bureau, whose low level personnel continue to slither and slide in the old grooves and behave as if they are the last bastion of defence against the Indian “enemy”.

SECOND OPINION: Our foreign policy fantasies —Khaled
Ahmed's Review of the Urdu press
It is not so much a lack of willingness to oppose America but the fear of being isolated globally while taking on the superpower. Gaddafi of Libya did it manfully for decades but was finally wise enough to change tack. Reason: isolation in the world community in general and the Arab world in particular. Ahmadinejad of Iran is about to repeat the mistak.

Press under siege: Another martyr of press freedom
Our “right to know” is dependent on the “freedom of expression” of those who are the guardians of imparting information to us through words and pictures in newspapers and on television and the internet. Unless their right to know is secure, the citizens' need to know would be difficult to fulfil. Any appreciation in the form of awards does not share the pain they suffer covering conflicts, wars, and disputes.
